I was watching 'Arial' today, and when Serenity landed, I commented how strange it was that the ship actually looked out-of-place in this hight-tech city of the future. Among horses and deserts...it's fine.

Just thought it was kinda strange; I never really noticed before.

Serenity isn't exactly a top of the line model anymore. She's a clunker, a work horse transport, and she's been around the block a few times. Remember, Mal found Serenity in a used space ship lot. I suspect when she was new and all polished, maintained on a regular basis...she prob 'fit in' a good bit more.

The Firefly class was a workhorse. Completely functional like the A-10 aircraft. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I Love the A-10 and I Love the Firefly class. All Serenity needs is the A-10's gatling gun.

This is true, I haven't noticed either. Our working ship. Beautiful ship. It definently more in place with lower tech worlds.

Don't laugh. In the hospital where I work, one of our stellar nurses complained about another employee's clunker parking in our parking lot. She said, and I quote, "He shouldn't be allowed to park his piece of s**t in this lot. He could hit my car and scratch it." It's jing chang mei yong de nurses like that one that gives them all a bad name. I instructed my subordinate to tell her to piss off if she gave us any aggravation, and if she wanted confirmation on that, then I was always available

They can have my "Firefly" DVDs when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers....

Oh yeah,

you, FOX TV!!

Always thought Serenity was kind of the space aged answer to a Herc myself. Big, not entirely pretty, functional and able to land pretty much anywhere. The used to call them the Workhorse of the North, you know.

Ok, you want out of place? In "Trash", when they're landing the shuttle at the estate, a SR71 "Blackbird" flys past! I just noticed this a couple of days ago, had to watch it a couple of times. Funny how a 1960's jet doesn't really *look* out of place. Sort of like when Serenity does a flyby in "BattleStar Galactica".

(For what it's worth I love the Blackbird, and the SkunkWorks that brought it to life. Clever guys with a serious desire to make things work.)

Dude:

I could tell you some serious sh*t about the SR-71...

But then I'd have to kill ya'... ;)

As to Serenity, I've thought all along that she looked a bit like a C-130 (Hercules).

Respectfully,
